The
Las Vegas Bowl was an ugly mauling in the desert as BYU dropped
Oregon 38-8 to end the season with their 10th straight victory
and hand the Ducks their fourth consecutive loss.
After averaging more than 36 points in each of the first nine
games, Oregon scored a total of 56 in its last four games as
the offensive spat and sputtered. Oregon was held to 120 total
yards through the first three quarters and only managed 261 yards
of total offense for the game. The Ducks didn't get on the scoreboard
until they were down 31-0 in the fourth quarter.
Conversely, BYU went over the 30-point mark for the ninth time
in its last ten games. The Cougars racked up 550 yards of offense
with quarterback John Beck throwing for 375 yards and two touchdowns.
Curtis Brown ran for 120 yards and two scores.
it was the first bowl win for the Cougars since the 1996 Cotton
Bowl, and only their third bowl triumph in the last twelve tries.
Oregon has lost four straight bowl games. |
